Barrier Free Community Garden Project

Phase 1

On Saturday, November 3, 2018 volunteers installed Ecoraster pavers at the Community Garden to create a level entrance and a level area to install accessible garden beds in the future.

Ecoraster pavers are a permeable ground stabilizing / paving solution that allows for natural drainage without producing harmful runoff. First the area was leveled with an excavator and the addition of a gravel layer. The Ecoraster was clipped together and installed and then a layer of pea gravel was raked into the Ecoraster pavers to create a level, permeable surface.

This is an amazing example of local recycling in action. The film plastics that Brockton residents recycle (Brockton.ca/FilmPlastics) is sent to EFS Plastics in Listowel where it is melted into pellets and then shipped to another Listowel manufacturer just 2 km away, Purus North America, who manufactures Ecoraster products from this 100% recycled plastic!
